Basketball nets new name and a vision for the future

IT MAY BE a new name but Basketball Ireland promises the same excitement and more when the IBA changes its title at an Extraordinary General Meeting this autumn.

The move follows a decision that was a mere two votes short of unanimity at last weekend’s AGM to restructure the sport.

The Irish Basketball Association (IBA) was founded in 1947 and, since then, has been responsible for the promotion, development, administration and co-ordination of all basketball activities in the 32 counties.
